Henry J. Brunnier arrived in San Francisco on May 4, 1906 just after the 1906 earthquake.

He was on loan from his employer the New York Edison Company to the firm Ford, Bacon and Davis, engineers for United Railroads.

His job was to help rebuild the streetcar system that had been destroyed by the earthquake.

Seeing the opportunity to provide consulting engineering services to help rebuild San Francisco, he opened his own practice on June 1, 1908.

Shortly after he joined a new business service organization called Rotary.

Both organizations will celebrate 100 years of service in 2008.
